The Ukrainian occupation forces thwarted the truce by hitting the residential area of the Donetsk People’s Republic.
This was announced on Thursday, December 17, by the press service of the DPR People’s Militia.
According to the ministry, the militants of the 36th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine opened fire from positions near the settlement of Vodyanoe at the settlement of Leninskoye, firing ten mines with a caliber of 120 mm.
“Enemy fire posed a direct threat to the inhabitants of Leninsky, as a result of which the defenders of the republic were forced to suppress the enemy’s fire activity with adequate response fire from non-prohibited types of weapons”, – the DPR’s defense department said.
It is also noted that the air defense crews shot down a drone of the Kiev militants, with which the punishers tried to adjust the mortar fire.
